"3 seasons, 13 episodes per season - that would be 39 episodes to tell the story. To tell it the way it's supposed to be told - explicitly." - John Aglialoro, Producer

Today, he said that. This morning actually. Nothing official yet, but yes, John laid out a plan for a mini-series and set it as a real goal for 2015-2016. How's that for a Happy New Year!?

2015... HERE. WE. COME.

Happy New Year!

    Good.
    Question: Is it possible for has "Gulchers" who are also theater people to audition for bit parts? I personally would like to play the part of the "Sob Sister".

    I loved the first 2 movies and look forward to the 3rd as soon as the dvd gets here. If you don't have anything nice to say please say nothing at all!

    I cannot disagree with that sentiment, mogul. Though I thoroughly enjoyed all three movies (the first was the best) they needed more consistency, especially in the characters. Peter Jackson knows how to make major motion pictures out of major books, and knows how to keep a cast together. But he is movies... maybe Clint Eastwood?

    I would be more than happy to ring the Kickstarter bell again for a miniseries. What a treat that would be.

    Serious question: how can one monetarily invest in the project, even at a micro level?

    I can see it now. A small island setting. A diverse collection of people placed there with no objective to meet except living a fulfilled life. Examining each of their paths could prove interesting.

    Flash: drop in ghetto hoods with weapons or law enforcement see how quickly it turns into a blood bath,

    Oh no, please don't try to move into television series production with this yourself!

    You have already proven with three movies that you don't have an artistic or movie making or storytelling background. And you can't now suddenly, easy-peasy, try to take on another media and context. Being an exercise equipment magnate or world class poker player does not make one an experienced film or television maker or fiction writer or anything else which involves aesthetics. It is a - totally - different way of using one's mind.

    Please step aside Mr. Aglialoro, show some humility, and leave a space for people who have artistic skill --and above all, DECADES of slowly and thoroughly built up experience! --to do this right.

    Hank Rearden didn't start out being able to make Rearden metal. He worked his way up by laboring in the steel industry many long years, learning about metals, learning about tension and torsion and heat and chemistry and alloys and so forth.

    In other words, he was a professional. You are not in this field.

    By "big footing" this you will mess it up for when a genius comes along who can genuinely make a masterpiece on film or television. You will have already tarnished Atlas Shrugged. Moral: a bad effort is worse than no effort at all - certainly in this case.
